Our Minnie is back in Twitterland! and this time, he wants to say thanks to those who worried about him. And since he won the case, he will be starting anew. ^^ Happy to see you again in my timeline Jung Min. Also, the picture with your puppy is just so cute. ^^

*Update: Jung Min tweeted after a few hours since he made a typo error on his previous tweet. And he even changed his profile picture. ^^

Thank you so much lafone for translating the article. Really cute when Hyun Joong shared his experience of eating all-you-can-eat barbecue until he gets tired of it. ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Ｃhoa Jul 31 : KHJ Exclusive Interview

Kim Hyun Joong talks about summer Q: Congratulations on the No.1 of Oricon 1st day sales with the second single album, “Heat” ! We understand that B’z produced this song for you. How did you feel when you heard that they accepted an offer? KHJ: I thought that it was a joke. I could not believe it even when I received a song, nor during the production process. I met them when we had a recording of the song, then I could feel “ it’s not a joke” for the first time. Though I spontaneously said that I would like a song produced by B’z, it was eventually delivered to them thanks to many people involved. I feel now how important it is to express in a word what we have in mind.

Q: Did you get any advice from B’z? KHJ: Nothing special. It means that they believed in me. They cared for me so that I could relax on the occasion of recording. Thanks to their encouragement, the recording was a great success.

Q: How was your first impression of the song when you listened to it ? KHJ: As it was totally different from the music I used to do, I felt it very new to me. When I listened to the song after the mixing of the song, I thought that it was really B’z production. What you usually listen to is the completed album. There are many differences in terms of sound between the album and those in process (provided demo tapes). This time, I had an opportunity to be involved in a production process which we usually cannot see, and therefore, I could understand their uniqueness which makes them “B’z “.

Q: So, you became much enthusiastic about them, right? KHJ: Yes indeed ! Though I am an artist too now, they were the artist I admired much when I was a child. After the debut in Japan, I could receive a song from them, which made me hit this new record. I really would like to say “thank you” to them.

Q: It was decided that you would perform on August 10 at Jingu firework festival. KHJ: When we worked in Japan, we lived here for a certain period of time. I happened to see a firework festival which took place near the Rainbow bridge ( * famous Sumida River Firework Festival ), where many girls were dressed in “Yukata” (* an informal cotton kimono for summer wear ). I was impressed that it was a traditional beautiful festival.

Q: Many people look forward to the outdoor live performance. KHJ: It is really honor for me to be invited for this big event. I will work hard in Korea to prepare for this live so that it would be a spice which will enhance their expectation for the firework festival.

Q: When it comes to “firework”, do you have something which reminds you of summer holidays? KHJ: I travelled for four days, three nights with a friend of mine with only 50,000wons. We eated at “all-you-can-eat” barbecue restaurant to the extent we could not eat anymore, thus skipping meals after that (to save money). We walked here and there, riding on a bicycle and so on. We really enjoyed it. Even asked, I don’t think that I can travel in this way anymore. Maybe I could experience that, as I was so young and reckless.

Q: Did you have homework in summer vacation? KHJ: Yes we had, but I thought that it was not important enough. So, I did not do my homework, just enjoying the summer holidays to my heart’s content. One of the homework was to write a diary, but I could not do it everyday. Nowadays we can check daily weather forecast via internet, but it was not possible when I was young. Therefore, I wrote about the weather in the diary, adding “ we had rain “ or “ it was cloudy “ like that later. It is very easy now as we can see an annual weather forecast (laugh)

Q: Now it was decided that you would take a male-lead of the new drama, “City Conquest “ in two years after “Playfull Kiss”. KHJ: In the drama “Playfull Kiss” and “Boys over Flowers”, I rather showed the image of prince. However, in this new drama, I would be much manly and wild guy, and therefore, I can show you all such as love, pains and anger which only matured people could feel. Please look forward to my new image which is totally different from previous characters.

Q: What kind of character do you act? KHJ: Baek Mil with a secret in his birth. He fights against the social ills as antigovernment force. The man who had been spending an ordinary life transformed into a man, determined to get his revenge, struggling with all the social evils. Q: Are there any action scenes?KHJ: There are many. Before I came to Japan, I went to so-called Action School. In the drama, there are many top quality action scenes. We also shoot in Japan, but even Japanese people may not be familiar with the shooting location, such as Edo Mura (* Mura means “villedge” ) where you could feel the atmosphere of Edo period ( * Edo period was from 1603 through 1868 ).

Huge thanks to my friend @RiCeLyN for the tip and sharing the screencap of his official website. I miss Kyu so much....especially now that I'm looking at his photos. T_T I chose not to share all the photos included on his website since I prefer you to visit his website and see for yourself how it looks. But for you to have an idea about it, here are some of the photos included. They are all precious for me....

This is such a great news for all of us. Seems that we will be seeing more of Jung Min now that he has won the case that he filed against CNR Media. Hopefully he can join the activities of the other boys from now on. It's just too bad that this didn't happen before Kyu Jong enlisted in the army. We wouldv'e seen them together. But anyhow, a good news is a good news. Congratulations Park Jung Min! ^^

SS501‘s Park Jung Min‘s provisional disposition to terminate the validity of his contract with CNR Media has been accepted by the court.

Back in April, the singer had submitted the disposition on grounds of not being properly paid for his work. At the time, he had claimed, “Aside from the 150 million Won I received last year, the company has not been paying my income properly. I am asking to have my contract terminated.”

On July 31st, the Seoul Central District Court granted the provision, effectively terminating his relation to the company. Officials explained, “Park Jung Min has won the case in terminating his contract. We will be discussing the details of his future soon.”

Our Maknae is soon to make another live tour in Japan come August. This is for his new album 'ESCAPE' and I bet a lot of fans are excited about this. ^^ Please support Hyung Jun! ^^

I was done subbing this clip since Friday, but due to limit of uploading in vimeo that's why I was only able to upload it now. Really cute of Young Saen when he was having his tantrums. And I so love it when he sang 'Hello Mello'. ^^ Enjoy watching! ^^

Sunday, July 29, 2012

This interview was done last July 21, 2012. Kim HYun Joong once again answering with 4D personality. ^^ He said only made copies for that amount and not because it is selling out. hehehehehe. What a funny guy! ^^ And he even got that letter from a fan who's loving him more than her husband. ^^ Hyun Joong said he was taken aback by it. hehe Well,... to be honest? If I have a husband..... I'd probably be saying the same thing. ㅋㅋㅋ What's not to love with our SS501 Leader? ^^ I laughed so hard when he answered the question when does he feel lonely or alone. Watch the video why. ^^

Saturday, July 28, 2012

Oh my...... my smile won't leave my face right now!!! I've been replaying the clip over and over again!!! Young Saeng is just soooooooooo cuteeeeeeeee~!!!!! ♥♥♥ I so love it, brings back the good old times when he was still shy dancing to this song. ^^ I dare you not to smile just by looking at his moves and his dimples. ^^ Gosh! I am DYING to see the full version of their dance! ^^

OMG~! This is just so fantastic! Not one, not two, but three times greater! It's our SS501's sub unitand their latest solo albums which will come with a CD plus a DVD!!! Isn't that wonderful?! Official release date is on August 17! There's actually a promo that they are also giving to fans, if they puchased all three albums, they are entitled to a raffle draw to win a special prize. However, it is limited to Taiwanese fans. But still we can buy their albums, right? ^^ To help you decide if you are gonna buy it or not, here are some previews of the albums from our boys. ^^

*P.S. When I was watching Kyu Jong's , the number of views was 501. ^^ I'm the 501th person who's watching the promo of warner music for his album. ^^ Made me happy. ^^ Just sharing. ^^

The information was tweeted yesterday, but since I need to ask permission first to the translator if I can share her translation that's why it took me almost a day to post it. Huge thanks to kelemama for allowing me to post her trans here. ^^ Just a reminder coming from kelemama: It's best to write the address in Hangul to make sure your letters will be sent directly to him. And no parcels nor registered mails are allowed! Only normal mails are allowed, and make sure it'll reach the destination before August 15, or else, he wont be able to read it. We still have 19 days to go. We can do it. ^^ Those words that you're longing to say to him, to inspire him and to make him smile, now is your chance to let him know that. ^^ Our Kyuie has a lot of time there so I'm positive he would be able to read your letters. Isn't it nice to know you're making Kyu's stay at the camp easier because of your letter? So make it happen! ^^

You can also copy and paste the address so you can stick it in your mail:

Was only able to post this now, but it already ended 2 days ago. I will miss the funny Kaki, but I know that SS501's Heo Young Saeng is back. ^^ Congratulations on the success of your sitcom Young Saeng! ^^ Your first acting was great, looking forward to more of your acting projects. ^^

This was shared today by B2M Entertainment and was translated by superstarsubs. I feel the sadness again of him going to the army. Why does 2 years takes too long? T_T Kyu Jong really knows how to makes all Triple S happy. He deserves to be called Triple S President.

English Translation:

Hello, this is Kim Kyu Jong. Yeah, is this yet another awkward greeting? Anyway, we, SS501, debuted in the year 2005, and now it is already the year 2012, it is a really long time, a long time has passed. I'll be leaving everyone's side for a while. Because I'll be enlisting soon, we'll have to spend the next 2 years apart, for a while. It has been 7, 8 years since we've met so I think that 2 years is considered a short time in comparison. Everyone, always stay healthy and happy. Also, I've released an album this time round, an album titled "Meet Me Again", so I hope you'll have a great time while listening to the album. In the time that I'm in the army, our members will be actively promoting so please show them lots of support. I sincerely wish that only good things will fill up your life. Then, I'll be greeting everyone often. This has been Kim Kyu Jong and 2 years later,

I would like to thank kelemama for subbing this video of Innolife. I've been wanting to know what he said, and it makes me cry hearing him say his speech. They all try to put a smile on their faces, but we all know that they also feel sad about it. Young Saeng even wasn't able to say his message and just smiled when Kyu asked him how was it. When he said he was leaving, and when they said "지금까지 더블에스 오공일이었습니다!! 감사합니다~" I was again teary-eyed.T_T To think it's only 2 days has passed, we still have a lot waiting to do. T_T

To my readers, I'm sorry if I wasn't able to update my blog. I lost my internet connection and I'm currently down with flu so I don't have much energy to go to my pc. But since now, for whatever reason, I decided to force myself to update my blog because of so many updates, especially about our TripleS President, Kyu. Recently, Steven Lee shared a picture of him and Kyu Jong. I think this was when they were in the US. He even wrote an encouragement words. ^^ We miss you Kyu Jong. Hope you are doing well.

An article about the upcoming loveteam in the drama 'City Conquest'. ^^ So excited for this drama. ^^

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"City Conquest" Kim Hyun-joong and Jeong Yoo-mi arm in arm

Kim Hyun-joong and Jeong Yoo-mi's "City Conquest" released a mellow still cut.

"City Conquest" is to be released at the end of the year and it's a combination of action and mellow drama about real men fighting evil in the real world and is currently being taken in Japan.

However, it is being dramatized so the overall storyline is being kept a secret. The first mellow still cut of Kim Hyun-joong (Baek Mir) and Jeong Yoo-mi (Lee Dan-bi) has been revealed in request of the fans.

As much as it is his first action drama, Kim lost a lot of weight in training so hard for his action scenes in the drama. This picture shows Kim Hyun-joong arm in arm with Jeong Yoo-mi and previewed the reality of this man in the drama with his messy hair and tough image.

Baek Mir is one who is stylish without trying and caring for the woman he loves.

Jeong Yoo-mi takes on the role of a jewelry designer Lee Dan-bi in this drama. Her long wavy hairstyle and white one-piece dress matching with her accessories gives her the look of a pure child along with her bright smile.

Netizen's compliment the couple and express that they can't wait for the real thing to start.

Our boys..... they show their tough side in front of us, gave us smiles. But at the end of the day, their true feelings appear. When Kyu Jong entered the army yesterday at noon, you cannot see any worries on their faces. However, just this morning, Young Saeng tweeted his real emotions about Kyu's enlistment. Reading his tweet made me touched, and sad at the same time. And I even cried at his last tweet. T_T If you're a true blood Triple S, you'd understand why.

Good evening ! Today there is no special inide storty. It is because what Hyun Joong ssi presented in his performance and talked on the stage tells everything. What you had seen at the venue is everything. A sudden change to sing a song a cappella, what he talked on the stage …everything was what he decided by himself . Immediately after the daytime performance, he began his rehersal for the evening without a break. Although he knew that the starting time of the evening was put off, he was determined to do as much as possible what he could not realize in the daytime performance, even to the last-minute. In the morning (July 15), he stopped his rehersal to go to the hospital. The time from that moment to the daytime session seemed short as well as for a long time. Even on the live performance stage, he seemed to struggle hard with himself. We were much impressed how he was a strong-willed person as well as being straightforwarded. We think that the tears in his eyes expressed his sincere feeling. We believe that having seen his performance of his all might, all of you at the venue could feel his heart. After the end of the event, he headed to the drama-shooting location. As he mentioned in the talk that he would live from now on as Baek Mil, a male-lead of the drama, he makes his best endeavours as actor as well. Though the drama shooting continues, the Heat promotion ends now. We would like to express our appreciation to you for your warm support from the bottom of our heart. We hope that you would continue to support him.

We also hope that you will take care of yourself in the summer. T, Staff Manager
